Pop Top Caravans For Sale Brisbane
Pop top caravans offer Brisbane buyers the perfect blend of caravan comfort and compact convenience—they're easy to tow, simple to store on urban driveways, and excel in subtropical weather conditions. They feature a unique design that allows them to be lowered when on the road and raised when you've reached your destination, providing additional space, headroom, and airflow. They can also be towed by smaller vehicles, like SUVs, and their low profile reduces wind resistance, thereby improving fuel efficiency.
Suited to a range of travel styles from solo travellers to couples and families, Apollo RV Super Centre stocks New Age Caravans and Goldstream RV models—both new and used. All have a range of great features, including ensuites, kitchens, and clever bedding options, ensuring your adventures to places like the Glass House Mountains and the Gold Coast are comfortable and stress-free. Some are also available in semi-off-road versions, allowing you to travel off the tarmac—like the 4WD tracks at Bribie!

Apollo Insights: After you buy, schedule an annual seal check and air conditioner service each spring before summer humidity arrives.
